Work as though someone is watching, because you may have
a sponsor and not know it.

Make decisions that are right for you and the important people in your life,

invited to a meeting, not just be given information.

"All of the panelists provided real-life
examples and stories that personally resonated with me,” said Katie Doyle,
manager, client service for MARS Advertising. "One of the quotes that I took

life.”

Also during the event, NEW Twin Cities honored Rebecca Anderson of SUPERVALU with the 2013 "Best of the Best" Award as the region's outstanding committee member.
